Meng Hanghai’s ability is mysterious and rare. Their greatest knowledge of this is his destructive power.
The word terrible is no longer enough to describe it.
Hou Ying embraced Meng Hanghai and saw him looking at himself nervously with fawn-like eyes. He raised his hand and drew a watermelon-sized circle on the ground, and then asked Qiao Daye to get it. The latter didn’t know his intentions, just squatted down and stretched out his hands to dig, but he didn’t expect that the soil in fingers suddenly turned into quicksand-like powder as soon as he touched the circle! Qiao Daye was startled and instinctively jumped away, then he realized that it was just a false alarm and jumped back.
He’s so fast that he retreated in a flash, but they all knew that he got scared by the changes in the land just now.
The team gathered around, only to find that the place just now became a pit half the size of a watermelon. Grabbing the fine sandy soil at the bottom of the pit, if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t believe that it was soil. It was just too pulverized and looked like gravel. Even Meng Hanghai was dumbfounded.
Although Hou Ying had expected it, he was still surprised. He said, “If I’m not mistaken, the child’s ability is space attack.”
“Space attack? What do you mean?”
Everyone looked confused.jpg.
Hou Ying deliberated his wording and explained, “When we watch 3D movies, we all know the concept of space dimension, right? Three-dimensional is solid, and full-dimensional is the real space in which we live, which is comprehensive in 360-degree. Xiaohai’s ability is to destroy dimensions… Let’s put it this way.” The explanation was too abstract. He picked up a stone from the ground. “Now this stone occupies a certain space. It is a whole, but at the same time, the particles that make it up exist independently in this space. It’s just that it’s limited to the surface of the stone. In short, Xiaohai’s ability is to deliberately destroy these spaces at will. You can say cutting, but what he destroys is not the stone itself, but more like a separation, dispersing them from the original space to other spatial dimensions.”
“Like this.”
He said, holding Meng Hanghai, they saw that the stone in his palm instantly turned into powder.
“The stone is actually still there, it’s just separated.”
Everyone: “…”
Still confused, but we’re impressed.
Hou Ying also found that his ability to explain is limited, so he simply said, “Anyway, everything that exists in this world, as long as the entity occupies a certain amount of space, whether it’s invisible to the naked eye or not, even the air and the sea can be cut.”

“It’s awesome!”
“Really?!”
Ji Yao and Meng Hanghai themselves were shocked.
Hou Ying smiled and said, “And… Do you think Xiaohai is powerful now?”
This is a fact. If he really wants to work hard, maybe even Li Xuanyuan may not be Meng Hanghai’s opponent. After all, space cutting or something is too overbearing, it’s a foul!
“Xiaohai’s ability is now level 1 low-level.”
Hou Ying said.
Everyone: “?!!!”
wtf! Are you kidding?! Dongfang Bai pointed to the sandpit and stammered, “This, this is only a level 1 low-level?!”
Hou Ying shook his head and replied, “This should be considered a level 2 ability. I don’t know why, but I can utilize it to level 4… I can use all your abilities at level 4.”
He said as he grabbed Jiang Tao, then a blue flame suddenly appeared in his free right hand, just like the level 4 zombie at the beginning.
Everyone has no idea how to react anymore. It’s Li Xuanyuan who’s the calmest and composed who said, “You just said that there’s a way to deal with the twin banyan trees by relying on Xiaohai’s ability?”
“Yes.” Hou Ying answered, “No matter how the twin banyan trees are against the sky, it won’t move or run. As long as we strip away the soil from its roots, we’re not afraid that it won’t surrender its wood crystal obediently.”
Li Xuanyuan frowned, “What if it takes root fast enough?”
It can’t learn from the Foolish Old Man who removes the mountain, and suddenly eliminate all of this mountain, right? Hou Ying also considered this issue, “I’ve thought about it. The five elements grow and conquer each other. Metal restrains wood. If there’s too much metal in it suddenly, it can’t survive even if it takes root. When I make a hole to isolate the soil, Dongfang and Brother Tao will use metal and bullets to attack its roots and force it back. Xuanyuan, you go talk to it again. As long as it’s willing to hand over its wood crystal, we will let it go. Of course, the premise of this approach is that the twin banyan tree’s roots don’t have the absorbing and rebounding ability. Otherwise, it will only depend on who’s faster between me and it.”
In his heart, he’s certain that the twin banyan’s roots didn’t have those abilities. Not to mention that the vital part of a plant is its root, which is equivalent to its head. The trunk and leaves of the twin banyan tree can absorb and rebound the abilities, but it has no lethality, so it’s also very possible that the root system isn’t lethal.
Everyone looked at each other, and Dongfang Bai couldn’t help saying, “Brother Hou, can this thing really understand humans?”
Hou Ying chuckles, “Understand a shit. Do you understand the biological instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding harm? It depends on who can beat who!”
Li Xuanyuan also thought that this method was feasible, but he’s still worried, “How long can the nuclei energy last while using Xiaohai’s ability?”
Hou Ying said, “I have a guess, but I’m still not sure. However, I can feel that I can not only exert the space attack’s power to level 4 but also have plenty of ability energy. It’s as if… the crystal nucleus energy I absorbed can be used in general, which may be why I can use your abilities to level 4.”
No one can understand the reason, but as long as Hou Ying doesn’t use up all his energy.
Li Xuanyuan said, “You should do what you can. If it doesn’t work, we’ll give up.”
He doesn’t have such a heavy sense of gain and loss. Even if the twin banyan trees’ wood crystal is the most powerful one he had seen in his life, he may not be able to meet one again in the second half of his life, but he said that to give up is really to give up without any hesitation.
Hou Ying was startled, concealing the complexity and uncontrollable heartbeat in his eyes.
Compared with Li Xuanyuan’s uncompromising purity of telling things to people, his utilitarianism is really too heavy. At that moment, he not only felt ashamed but also felt that he was not worthy of the other party.
After a fierce battle just now, it’s already 6 p.m. Although there are also changes in the vegetation layer on the hills and peaks, and the tall trees here aren’t as dense as those at the foot of the mountain, the light is still not good, so everyone is holding back their eager mood and adjusted in situ. Just now, they’re so flustered. The food in their knapsacks was all abandoned in the territory of twin banyan trees, so they could only eat whatever they could find nearby.
Fortunately, there are Jiang Tao’s fire ability and Gongsun Jing’s water ability. Otherwise, even if they catch pheasants, they won’t be able to eat them.
After a full meal, Ji Yao and Jiang Tao, who don’t need to be the main force to fight tomorrow, will be responsible for the vigil. In the middle of the night, while it’s Ji Yao’s turn to guard, he called Hou Ying and looked at the people resting around the fire. After thinking about it, he kicked Qiao Daye and asked him to help watch for a while. He needs to quietly talk to Hou Ying, such a place couldn’t escape Qiao Daye’s ears anyway, so he simply let him guard for a while.
“What’s the matter, Yaoji?”
Hou Ying thought it’s something inconvenient for him to say during the day.
Ji Yao looked at him worriedly, “Houzi, are you okay?”
“Me?” Hou Ying was stunned and then smiled, “I’m fine. Why do you ask?”
“Why your ass!” Ji Yao suppressed his voice and snarled at him, “Don’t pretend to me. We’ve known each other for years, can I not know what you are like? Did you forget that Xiaohe was angry with you back then? You’re overbearing and authoritarian, you just don’t usually show it, but you have to worry about the things you really care about, and you won’t let them out of your control. Especially, do this kind of thing for them!”
How could Hou Ying not know what he meant when Ji Yao spoke so clearly?
He remembered the incident when Wang Hehe was angry with himself because he had never been so angry with him.
That’s when Wang Hehe went to college, freshman year. Wang Hehe liked a senior sister. He’s a skipper. He was only 16 years old when he went to college. His senior was already a graduate student, ten years older than him! Hou Ying believes that his opposition is reasonable. No parent will watch their children make a fool of major life events. And his way of cutting off this relationship is very straightforward, commonly known as the beauty trick.
That’s right, he went out in person and only met her three times. The senior sister who had the plot of sister-and-brotherly love could not extricate herself from him and confess to him in front of Wang Hehe.
The result can be imagined.
Wang Hehe is smart, and Hou Ying didn’t hide his actions. Instead, after rejecting his senior, he confessed his action to Wang Hehe, so as to advise him. But Wang Hehe couldn’t understand him, and even said that he hated him. He ran away from home—he lived in the university dormitory, did not go home for two months, and refused all contact with Hou Ying.
Hou Ying was devastated, feeling that he had raised a white-eyed wolf and turned against him for an outsider.
However, Hou Ying did not learn psychology in vain. He knew that if he’s also controlled by his emotions, things would only get worse. Therefore, he went to consult his psychology tutor. As a result, after the other party knew the whole story, he said that there was a problem with his mentality.
At that time, Hou Ying realized the flaws in his character for the first time.
Wang Hehe finally came back because Ji Yao told him that Hou Ying couldn’t stand the shock and went to receive psychotherapy. This almost scared Wang Hehe out of his mind. He didn’t say anything, just packed his things, and went home. He still has that look of heartlessness that makes people see the bottom at a glance. Since then, he has never rebelled.
Therefore, it is not that Wang Hehe didn’t have that Secondary Two rebellious period, but was strangled in the cradle by Hou Ying’s “making a mountain out of a molehill”.
Sorry, but i think something wrong with editing
I think so too
TL forgot spacing.
sorry guys, I’m scheduling the chapters but it just doesn’t come out fine every time so let me know if something like this comes up again ☺
Thank you for the chapter
Wuuuuu. I can’t wait for the next chapter! 😭
Thank you for the chapter!
Wow I really like how the author made Hou Ying so self aware! I’ve read a bunch of novels, and a lot of the main characters are really arrogant (sometimes even dumb) but they think they’re all that anyway, and of course the world works in their favour too (protagonist aura haha). This is such a refreshing change 😌
Thanks for the chapter!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
